Venidiktov S. V. Efficiency, openness, multiplicity: media sustainability of the
Eurasian Economic Union
The paper considers information systems of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU)
states in terms of their correspondence to the basic principles of the functioning of
an effective media communication system. General characteristics of Eurasian
state-commercial, catching-up and paternalistic models are analyzed by the example
of individual EAEU states in three directions: the general state of the media
sphere, the economic component of the media, and the openness of the information
space. The author concludes that the differences in the media models of the EAEU
countries are not mutually exclusive, which creates prospects for coordinating the
information and legal infrastructure of partner countries. Key words: Eurasian Economic Union; integration; mass media; media model;
communication.
